When I found the lily pendant. I fell in love with the details, they are light weighted & the lily pendant. has a hollow back.
Inspired by one of Diego Rivera’s famous painting: Calla Lily Vendor, Diego was married with Frida Kahlo (twice) both became very famous.
Diego made several paintings with Calla Lilies always with the flower girls dressed in Mexico native outfits.
These paintings are an ode to the beauty of Mexico’s native cultures & to the suffering of her native peoples.
Frida painted dragonflies on one of her self portraits, therefore I mixed the charms.
Dragonfly symbolize:transformation, change, wisdom & happiness.
The Diego lily & dragonfly necklace where part of a special designed jewelry collection to support the following exhibitions:
Cobra Museum Amstelveen: A Love Revolution!
Drents Museum Assen: Viva La Frida!
De lily hanger is een plaatje, met prachtige details.
licht in gewicht en de achterkant is hol.
De ketting is geïnspireerd op een van de beroemde schilderijen van Diego Rivera genaamd de Calla Lily vendor.

De libelle komt voor op een zelfportret van Frida Kahlo, de libelle is het symbool van transformatie, verandering,wijsheid & geluk.

Eljo
Designer & Founder.
After a career with national & international fashion companies, I was looking for a new challenge.
I took private goldsmith lessons at one of the best goldsmiths in Amsterdam.
I always had an interest/love for Jewelry & specially for Victorian Mourning jewelry, which contains a lot of symbols.
03 CS Jewelry was established in july 2014, Amsterdam.
The atelier is based on the third floor at the Kanaalstraat.
In search of an international look for my company; the name 03 Canal Street popped up.
Nr 03 plays an important role my life..
03 CS Jewelry finally became it.
03 CS Jewelry collections are small, so you have no stress choosing.
No huge stock, no sales & no waste!
Also vintage supplies, like sequins are part of the collection.
The (semi) precious beads are selected with care & add a positive vibe to the jewelry
You will find for now, in the webshop a selection of the 03 CS Jewelry basics & latest 03 CS Jewelry collection.

The first design of 03 CS Jewelry is the happy beetle.
The scarab is a dung beetle and symbolizes eternal life & transformation.
He cleans up your sh*t, I can assure you he does it well.
He brought me a lot of good luck & prosperity.
And till this day the happy beetle is a favorite 03 CS Jewelry piece.
